IMPnovED TABLE-eterea tro'ALL WHOM rr MAY coNeEnN:

Be it known that I, DANIEL SHERWOOD, of Lowell, in thccounty oi'liliddlesex,V and State of Massaehnsetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Table-Casters; and-I do hereby declare the following to be a.

full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being made tothe accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, and the guresand letters of reference thereon. OF thesaiddrawings* Figure 1 is a perspective view of the easter when complete for the reception of the'bottles, Figure 2 representsth'e form and arrangement of th/o wires' constituting the frame of the cups. YThe object of my invention is to produce a light, ornamental, and cheaptable-caster, and to this end my invention consists. in the arrangement of a series of wire cups provided with legs for support, and united together in one article by the means hereafter setfforth, so as to 'form areceptacle -'or the different oruets and 'bottles containing thegdifferent condiments used at meals.

Description. i To enable others skilled in the art to construct my invention, I will describe the manner in which I make it. The frames ofthe cups are first made of wire, of the proper size, bent, by any suitable mechanical device, into the form shown in iig. 2,' the parts e forming the legs and the parts C. the ribs ofthe cup. The spiral wire b', forming the bottom and sides of each cup, is wound up 'on a grooved head in a machine, the construction' of which` is fully described in the patent granted to Woods t Sherwood on the 12th day ofNovember, A. D. 1867, Y

No. 70,770.4 The frame-wires are then placed in position over the spiral, and both are united together by inter, lacing of the fine wire e. The'rirn a is then connected to the frame by the ends ofthe wires d, which are bent over the same. The cups arethe'n firmly united by the handle B. The handle shown in the'` drawing is formed I constructed substan tially as described.

of three wires, twisted together, and bent in the centre to-form the bow, and the six strands then twisted together forl'soine distance to form the thick part of the handle.. -Three of thestrends are used to connect the rims of the cups together, and the remaining three are twisted again toV form the continuation of the handle, and are then joined to theinnerlegs of the cups to give strength to the whole. It is obvious that a caster maybe made in this manner with any numberof cups. s

I claim,.as a new and improved article of manufacture, a tableeaster, consisting et' the parts a, b, c, Ste.,
